Using 2001052404 build on NT 4.0. Tried 2001052408 build on MAC OS 9.0.4 and it worked fine. Tried 2001052308 build on Linux 2.2 and I think it worked but having problems that might be related to this bug: 82468 So I am not sure. Problem: If you have at least 2 mail accounts set up. One Imap and the other Webmail. You login only to the IMAP account. Go offline. Create a message. send later. Go back online. The prompt to send unsent mail pops up and you click send. Then for some reason, my web mail login pops up. If I click cancel I get all these error messages. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create at least 2 mail accounts with one being your WebMail account and 2nd one an IMAP account. 2. Make sure outgoing server is set to the IMAP account. 3. Login into your IMAP account 4. Go offline 5. Click "don't download" messages 6. create a new message 7. fill it out and do a 'send later' 8. Go back online 9. Prompt to send your unsent messages pops up. Say 'send'. Actual Results: -A Mail server Password required window pops up: 'Enter your password for Name@smtp.netscape.net' See attatchment 1. -if I click Cancel and another error message pops up. see attachment 2 [details] [diff] [review]. -And a 3rd error message pops up. see attachment 3 [details] [diff] [review]. -Message is not sent -If i go back offline. The Web Mail Mailserver password window reemerges again. -If I instead enter my password for WebMail, the message will then be sent as expected Expected Results. Mail to be sent and no password prompt

If you go offline, we close all your active connections. I'm not sure why the sending failed, but it probably has something to do with the aol smtp server and nothing to do with offline. I don't know what makes us decide to prompt or not for password - that's really to do with smtp sending to the aol server, which I didn't implement. Is sending to the aol smtp server in general broken?

I don't think sending to Webmail server is broken. I tried couple of times and no problem. I think this bug is tied in/dupe with bugscape bug 4991. And I still see this problem w/2001052904 commercial build on NT e.0. Not sure if I should resolve as Dupe of the bugscape bug or not.
Gary, I think this is a dup of a bugzilla bug 59548 which states that if you Activate a web mail account first then add you imap account the default smtp server for folder under Local (which is where Unsent messages is located), when you send it picks up the default SMTP identity instead of the one you had on the message. Is this what you did (set up your Web account first)? If so, change the dup from 4991 (by the way 4991 should have in Bugscape not Bugzilla) to 59548.
Esther you are right. I migrated my old 4.x profile. Activated my webmail account. Filled in the identity part for my web mail account (but didn't actually login). Created new imap account. Logged into that new imap account. went offline. composed a message and did send later. Went back online. Did a 'send' at send unsent mesgs prompt and that's when the web mail login appears. My mistake in comments for 5/29 as I forgot to mention it was a bugscape bug not bugzilla. So the link is wrong. Resolving this bug as a dupe of bug 59548 Esther, I'll change the bugscape bug: http://bugscape.netscape.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4991 as dupe of bugzilla bug 59548 but not sure 'how to do it'? *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 59548 ***
